Objectives: To study the clinical meaning of condyle-form asymmetry and its osseous changes shown on TMJ images of lateral oblique transcranial projection and lateral tomography. Methods: 113 patients with partial posterior teeth lose were enroled in the study.Among them 25 were with temporomandibular disorder (TMD group),39 with slight TMD sings (sub-TMD group) and 45 without TMD(TMD-free group). Radiographs were taken and studied for each patient. Results: It was found that the condyle form asymmetry and osseous changes were not significantly different among the three groups. Osseous change was related to the number of teeth-lose (P0.05). The symptoms and signs of TMD had close relationship with occlusal interferences. Conclusions: The changes shown on TMJ images do not show close relationship with TMD symptoms and signs. Occlusal interferences resulted from teeth-lose are related to the clinical symptoms and signs of TMD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between expressions of alpha 2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) gene mRNA and protein in placenta and insulin resistance in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods The expressions of AHSG gene mRNA and protein in placenta were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PC R) and Western blot technique in normal uterogestation uterine-incision delivery patients (control group,43 cases) and patients with GDM (GDM group,45 cases).Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insuhn (FINS) were detected before uterine-incision delivery,and the homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was computed.Results The FPG,FINS and HOMA-IR in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group [(5.28 ± 0.63)mmol/L vs.(4.24 ±0.21) mmol/L,(11.75 ±4.85) mU/L vs.(9.73 ±2.18) mU/L,2.79 ±1.02 vs.1.87 ± 0.66],there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The expressions of AHSG gene mRNA and protein in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group (0.761 6 ± 0.069 1 vs.0.329 4 ± 0.025 1 and 0.824 5 ± 0.137 5 vs.0.420 3 ± 0.075 0),there were statistical differences (P＜ 0.01or ＜ 0.05).HOMA-IR level in GDM group was positively correlated with AHSG gene mRNA and protein (r =0.633,0.587,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The expressions of AHSG gene mRNA and protein are significantly higher in patients with GDM.Insulin resistance may play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of GDM.

Objective To explore the role of caspase-3 activation and DNA fragmentation in later period of neonatal rat hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD). Methods DNA fragmentation,caspase-3 mRNA and caspase-3 protein were measured in 2 wks、3 wks and 4wks after setting HIBD animal model in newborn wistar rats by FCM, RT-PCR and Immunohistochemistry. Results (1) Apoptosis lasted 4ks after HIBD. This suggested a long lasting role of apoptosis in neonatal HIBD by TNNEL and EM.(2)Caspase-3 mRNA expression was estimated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. It was higher in HIBD group(0.771?0.074) than in control group(0.620?0.038, P0.05. Average Avalue of Caspase-3 protein in HIBD group(0.374 ?0.038) at 3 wks was significantly higher than that in control group(0.356?0.020,P

By means of TLC-densitomery, the contents of oleanolic acid extracted from the fruits of Ligustrum lucidum were determined to be 8.04% (g/g) in the unriped fruit collected in August and 2.73% (g/g) in riped fruit gathered in December. This result showed that the oleanolic acid content in fructus L. Iucidum decreases gradually with growing until the fruit is fully riped.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of cent ra l disordered occlusion on the thickness of TMJ disc. Methods:The thickness of temporomandibular joint disc was measured in 5 cadavers with centr al disordered occlusion, including secondary malocclusion caused by loss of post erior tooth for a comparable long time with collapse of neighbor teeth and supra -eruption of its antagonized tooth, the supra-erupted third molar resulted fro m lack of antagonized tooth for a comparable long time and individual posterior tooth cross bite or reverse cross bite asymmetrically. Other 7 cadavers without central disordered occlusion served as controls. All samples were examined histo logically for the TMJ disc thickness. Out of 18 New Zealand rabbits, aged 5 mont hs, 9 were treated orthodontically to pull the first premolar move medially, occ luding with its opposite un-coincidently, central disordered occlusion was grad ually induced. The other 9 rabbits served as blank controls. The TMJs were sampl ed 3 months after beginning of the experiments, stained with HE and observed und er microscope. Results: In both cadavers and animals, the TMJ di sc was found much thicker in central disordered occlusion group than that in the control group (P

OBJECTIVE: To review endonasal endoscopic surgeries aided by Fusion image guided system, and to explore the application value of Fusion image guided system in endonasal endoscopic surgeries. METHOD: Retrospective research. Sixty cases of endonasal endoscopic surgeries aided by Fusion image guided system were analysed including chronic rhinosinusitis with polyp (n = 10), fungus sinusitis (n = 5), endoscopic optic nerve decompression (n = 16), inverted papilloma of the paranasal sinus (n = 9), ossifying fibroma of sphenoid bone (n = 1), malignance of the paranasal sinus (n = 9), cerebrospinal fluid leak (n = 5), hemangioma of orbital apex (n = 2) and orbital reconstruction (n = 3). RESULT: Sixty cases of endonasal endoscopic surgeries completed successfully without any complications. Fusion image guided system can help to identify the ostium of paranasal sinus, lamina papyracea and skull base.
